Information for Ministers

Last updated: 28 September 2005

Monitoring departments will have responsibilities on behalf of Responsible Ministers for monitoring Crown entities' performance against entities' planned strategic direction. Departments will therefore be particularly interested in working with you to ensure that the most appropriate financial and non-financial measures and standards are identified to support understanding of, and judgements about, the entity's performance going forward. Departments will want to assure Ministers that the entity's proposed outputs are likely to be both efficient and effective in relation to available resources (including Crown funding) and the results sought, and that outputs are delivered in a manner consistent with expectations of standards of conduct and integrity.

The set of performance information sought by the Responsible Ministers and the monitoring department is likely to draw from, and summarise, the information your Board and senior managers already rely on to understand the entity's performance and which enable the entity to identify and manage risks and opportunities.
